Definitions
- This invention relates to detecting transitions, e.g., phase transitions imparted to a carrier tone or tones as part of a training signal sent from one modem to another.
- a typical training sequence begins with the transmission of tones used by the receiver to detect the presence of signal, to set up the analog receiver gain, and to learn any clock or carrier frequency offset, among other things.
- the next part of the training sequence is a pseudo-random two-phase or four-phase symbol sequence. This sequence is known to the receiver and is used to set up its equalizer in a reference-directed fashion.
- the transmitting modem precedes it by a 180 degree phase reversal (transition) in the initially transmitted tones. Often the transition occurs a number of symbol intervals before the training sequence is to appear, to provide a period following the transition that is long enough to allow reliable detection of exactly when the transition occurred.
- Measuring the precise timing of the transition is also an important step in setting up echo cancelers in modems of the type that handle full duplex communication over the two-wire switched telephone network, as in the CCITT standard V.32.
- Setting up the echo cancelers requires determining the round-trip propagation delay, which is done using a hand-shake procedure based on phase transitions imposed on tones sent back and forth over the channel.
- the receiving modem In detecting the time when the transition occurs, the receiving modem must be able to distinguish the intentionally imposed transition from transient disturbances such as phase hits, gain hits, impulse hits, etc., introduced by the telephone channel, which may have an appearance similar to the intentional transition.
- a decision on the transition timing is made as soon as the received tones give the appearance that a transition has occurred.
- Such decisions are highly susceptible to errors caused by transient disturbances.
- a theoretically optimum transition detector (for channels affected only by white Gaussian noise) is one which delays the decision on when the transition occurred as much as possible in order to find the one transition position where the tones match the received signal most closely. Because of the decision delay, such a detector will be more robust in the presence of transient disturbances.
- a correlator can be used to choose, as the decision, the one possible transition position which gives the highest correlation between the tones and the received signal.
- the correlation principle was used by Walsh in "Synchronization of a Data Communication Receiver with a Received Signal," U.S. Pat. 4,290,139, issued Sept. 15, 1981, which discloses a correlator to detect the presence of an expected segment (e.g., a transition) in a received signal.
- His scheme uses a finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter whose coefficients are chosen to be representative of the filter input during the expected segment. The detection decision is made based on the filter output, which is anticipated to be large when the expected segment is present.
- FIR finite impulse response
- the invention is a receiver that derives from a received signal a sequence of signal points (each signal point including a symbol and a related distortion sample) made up of a first subsequence of symbols ending at an unknown time instant, and a second subsequence of symbols beginning at the unknown time instant, the first and second subsequences being known to the receiver; the unknown time instant is determined from the derived sequence and the known subsequences by a sequence estimation technique which includes determining and comparing measures (with respect to the derived sequence of received signal points) of known sequences having different possible positions of the unknown time instant.
- the subsequences are periodic.
- the periods of the two subsequences are the same, e.g., 2.
- the first subsequence has alternating complex numbers A and B and the second subsequence has alternating complex numbers C and D.
- the amplitudes are the same and the phases are 180 degrees apart for A and C, and B and D.
- the first periodic subsequence consists of a single symbol A
- the second periodic subsequence consists of a single symbol C
- a and C have the same amplitudes and a phase difference of 180 degrees.
- the second periodic subsequence is zero.
- the first symbol s K that appears in the second subsequence immediately after the unknown time instant may only be one of a predetermined set of fewer than all of the symbols in the second subsequence.
- the corresponding symbols s K appear in the order of said possible subsequence.
- symbol s K may only be a predetermined one of the symbols in the second periodic subsequence.
- the receiver is coupled to a noise-affected channel driven by a transmitter in accordance with the periodic subsequences of symbols.
- the channel carries at least one tone whose phase and amplitude are determined by the symbols.
- the tones are used for training the receiver.
- the symbols are two-dimensional.
- the sequence estimation technique is a trellis-type technique whose trellis has two states.
- the measures are computed iteratively only for sequences which, for a given iteration, have accumulated the minimum measure among all sequences with the same future. A final determination is made when, after an iteration, the minimum measure sequence has undergone a transition at least D iterations earlier. Reference symbols are generated corresponding to the known sequences. The squared distance of each signal point from symbols belonging to the subsequences is calculated. Values indicative of the measures are stored. Normalized versions of the measures are generated. A tentative determination is generated earlier than the delayed determination.
- the transition is determined more simply, and more effectively than in the correlation detector, and with performance as close to optimum as desired. Only one minimum distance path leading into a successor post-transition state need be stored. Normalization assures that the path metrics do not grow without bound when the pretransition state is more likely, simplifies the computation of one of the path metrics, and precludes the need to store one of the path metrics.

- FIG. 2 is a complex signal plane showing four signal points.
- FIG. 3 is a trellis diagram for use with the transition detector of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the transition detector.
- FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the transition detection process.
- a high-speed, voiceband modem 12 at one end of a telephone channel 14 sends three tones respectively at a carrier frequency of 1800 Hz and at the two band-edge frequencies of 600 and 3000 Hz.
- the tones are produced digitally beginning with a pair of signal generators 16, 18.
- a and B represent two-dimensional points on the complex signal plane as shown in FIG. 2.
- the complex symbols s n , n 0,1, . . .
- n being the index of the symbol interval
- QAM quadrature amplitude modulation
- the number K is chosen to be at least some number i symbol intervals.
- phase reversal is executed such that if the final symbol out of generator 16 is an A (or B) the first symbol out of generator 18 is a D (or C). As shown in FIG. 2, the sequence generated by generator 18 is 180 degrees out of phase from the sequence generated by generator 16.
- the analog signals received during the first i symbol intervals (which are known to precede the phase transition, because K is greater than i) are used to detect the presence of a received signal (if not already detected) and then to learn the steady-state channel disturbances in order to set up a coherent receiver for detecting the phase transition.
- the gain of the received analog signal is adjusted in element 30 by multiplying it with an analog gain value provided from an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit 32.
- AGC automatic gain control
- sampler and analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 34 the gain adjusted signal from element 30 is sampled at 7200 Hz and A/D converted at the rate of three output samples per symbol interval.
- the AGC circuit 32 operates based on the level of these samples.
- the timing of the sampling is governed by a timing recovery circuit 36 again based on the digital samples.
- Samples x k are fed into a fixed, complex phase splitting filter 37 with complex outputs x' k . These are then fed into an adaptive, linear, complex passband equalizer 38 (with tap spacing of T/3) having, e.g., 6 taps.
- the outputs y n of equalizer 38 are delivered at the symbol rate (1/T) according to ##EQU1## where w n ,j is the coefficient for the jth tap of the equalizer during the nth symbol interval.
- ⁇ n is a demodulation angle generated by a conventional second-order phase-locked loop (not shown) in circuit 42 based in part on the output of element 40.
- the demodulated output of element 40 is a sequence of received signal points:
- a weight updater 46 adjusts the weights w n ,j based on the passband error signal
- the demodulation phase is adjusted in circuit 42 based on the phase difference between z n and r n .
- the equalizer taps are initialized at zero.
- the alignment between the X K' s and r n will determine the position of the main (weight with largest magnitude) tap of the equalizer. Because r n has a period of 2, the ambiguity in the main tap position is only one symbol interval (or 3 taps).
- Transition detector 48 uses the demodulated complex signal points z n to make a final transition decision following a delay of D symbol intervals in the following manner.
- the possible sequences of sent symbols can be represented by a so-called two-state trellis diagram 50 as shown in FIG. 3.
- Trellis diagrams are more fully discussed in "Principles of Digital Communication and Coding", by A. J. Viterbi and J. K. Omura, McGraw-Hill, 1979, incorporated herein by reference.
- the trellis shows the possible states of the transmitter 12 during each successive symbol interval after interval i. After the ith interval there are potentially two states for the transmitter, a pre-transition initial state 52 and a post-transition state 54.
- the pre-transition state corresponds to switch 28 (FIG. 1) in the "up” position with transmitter 12 sending either the symbol A or the symbol B.
- the post-transition state represents switch 28 in the "down” position with transmitter 12 sending either the symbol C or the symbol D.
- a branch that connects a predecessor state to a successor state in the trellis represents a possible state transition in the transmitter.
- Each branch is associated with a symbol.
- the branch begins with the ith interval, from each pre-transition state occupied prior to a given interval there are two branches, one (e.g.., 56) leading to a successor pre-transition state (60) after the given interval (representing the situation in which switch 28 has not been thrown and the phase transition has not occurred), the other (62) leading to a successor post-transition state (54) after the given interval (representing that switch 28 has been thrown and the phase transition has occurred).
- Each post-transition state 54 has only one branch 64 leading from it and that branch leads to the successor post-transition state 66, reflecting the fact that, once the phase transition has occurred, there is no return to the pre-transition state.
- Branches leading to the post-transition state are associated with output symbols C and D alternatingly and the branches leading to the pre-transition state are associated with output symbols A and B alternatingly, and in synchronism such that A and C or B and D belong to the same symbol interval.
- Every possible transmitted symbol sequence ⁇ s n ⁇ (where ⁇ s n ⁇ undergoes a single transition no sooner than the ith interval) is thus represented by a path through trellis 50, where the path is a chain of the branches from left to right.
- the goal of transition detector 48 is to determine the interval in which the transition from the pre-transition state to the post-transition state has occurred. Specifically, the goal is to find the path through the trellis which was most likely to have been traversed by the transmitter in sending sequence ⁇ s n ⁇ , based on the corresponding received sequence ⁇ z n ⁇ .
- the most likely sent sequence ⁇ s n ⁇ is the one that is closest (in the sense of Euclidean distance) to the received sequence ⁇ z n ⁇ ; i.e., the estimate ⁇ s n ⁇ minimizes the distance metric or measure ##EQU2##
- the metric d 2 for a path in the trellis can be computed recursively, such that the metric accumulated up to position n is the sum of the path metric accumulated up to position n-1 plus the branch metric
- D will depend on the application.
- the path which is ultimately selected is the one with the earliest transition position K where the pre-transition state is more likely at position K-1, the post-transition state is more likely at position K, and the post-transition path remains more likely compared to the pre-transition path for D symbol intervals.
- transition detector 48 includes a delay counter C 70 that keeps track of the number C of intervals that remain before D intervals will have elapsed since a transition first appears to have occurred (or the post-transition state becomes more likely).
- Detector 48 also includes a store 72 that holds a value, m(0), which is a normalized metric for the path ending in a pre-transition state following the nth interval. m(0) is initialized (71) to zero.
- Each received signal, z n is delivered to a d 2 (r n ) branch metric calculator 74, and to a d 2 (-r n ) branch metric calculator 76.
- the corresponding reference signal r n is also delivered to calculators 74, 76.
- Calculator 74 calculates (75) the squared distance d 2 (r n ) between the received signal z n and the reference signal r n . This is the branch metric for the transition to the pre-transition state. Calculator 74 thus calculates
- Branch metric calculator 76 calculates (75) the distance d 2 (-r n ) between the received signal z n and the negative of the reference signal r n . This is the branch metric for the transition to the post-transition state. Calculator 76 thus calculates
- branch metric calculators 74, 76 are delivered respectively to n(1) and n(0) cumulative metric calculators 78, 80.
- n(0) cumulative metric calculator 80 finds (77) the normalized cumulative metric of the path that ends in the successor pre-transition state by adding d,(r n ) to m(0), the normalized metric for the path ending in the predecessor pre-transition state, stored in m(0) store 72.
- n(1) cumulative metric calculator 78 sets (77) the cumulative metric for the path that ends in the successor
- the normalization prevents the unbounded growth of the metrics, when the pre-transition state is more likely, simplifies the computations, and precludes the need to store n(1). Then n is incremented to n+1 and the next received signal z n is processed.
- Transition detector 48 may be implemented in a programmable signal processor of the kind shown in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 586,681, filed Mar. 6, 1984, assigned to the same assignee as this application, and incorporated herein by reference.
- the coherent receiver structure can be modified. Some form of limiting can be used to increase the robustness of the detector against transient disturbances. Such limiting can, for example, be applied to the branch metrics. Other modifications of the branch metric are also possible.
- the technique can be generalized to the problem of detecting the unknown transition instant from a known first periodic subsequence to a second known periodic subsequence. In particular, it can be used to detect a phase transition in a single tone in which case the subsequences will be of the form A, A, A, . . . , and C, C, C, . . . , both of period 1. Applications where the subsequences are not necessarily periodic are also possible. For example the scheme can be used to detect a loss of any known sequence. In this case, the second subsequence will be identically zero.
